Living with loss can arrive in many different shapes or sizes, perhaps some harsher than others, but when it comes to LSUOdyssey friend (& Odyssey subscriber) Kevin Howell, he doesn't view his current circumstances as a "loss"....he's a glass half full kind of guy.
On June 2nd, due to an infection found in his left foot, which threatened both his entire left leg and potentially his life, the junior high school teacher and lifelong Tigers fan was forced to undergo amputation.
Dealing with excruciating pain at first, Kevin is now stabilized and on to the next phase of his recovery.
While the surgical part is out of the way, Kevin will now embark on a grueling physical therapy regimen, though he has embraced this next challenge, of course, with excitement.
Kevin is a Grade A father, husband, teacher, and a dear, loyal friend to us; we're grateful to him for letting us share part of his story.
We're not only rooting for him every day of this process, we have no choice but to dedicate our entire 2023 LSU Odyssey to Kevin, both in friendship and in solidarity.
Through this platform, we will do whatever we can, in our own way, to help encourage your positive push in the days ahead.
Let’s Geaux Kevin!!! You got this!!!
Count on my prayers for Kevin’s continued health. Thank you for letting us know so we can also support a great member of the Tiger family.
